Blind Fiction - The Post Truth EP
CD / DL
Out Now
7 / 10
Cumbrian
alternative quintet Blind Fiction have released a pleasing five track EP under
the name of The Post Truth. It's all very enjoyable rock/pop with a few
surprises along the way and some pretty nice melodies, though not overly
commercial there is enough there to see them gain some decent radio play.
Perhaps
the stand-out is the voice of singer Lucia Lipscombe who you get the impression
has much to offer. She can be strong and
subtle and has an interesting turn of pitch and form. Combined with the post-rock feel of the band
it all works well.
Lyrically
they can sound a little twee at times particularly on opener Treatment but, and
here is the thing, it seems to work somehow.
Memento blasts the speakers a few times and Home slows the pace and is
all very easy on the ear.
Test
Card F is interesting and unpredictable and has hints of krautrock and
post-punk influences whilst closer Matilda, an instrumental, is a gentle way to
end.
If
there’s a criticism it lies not with the music but with the production which seems
a little flat and could do with a boost here and there.
Promising
stuff.
